Scout maturity

Long ago I was an 11-year-old. Our Boy Scout leader was excellent — he showed us how to live, to learn, to exercise, to respect adults, how to shake hands, how to be strong, how to be “men.” He was also gay. Current Boy Scouts should recognize and accept homosexuality — like we have accepted blacks, Jews, women and people from other countries. It is called maturity.
